There haven’t been a lot of superhero movies with female leads, and there have been even fewer – if any – that were truly funny. I heard Ant-Man was, but I haven’t seen that yet. So, that would be my goal, my dream – to be a super-heroine who’s not afraid to be feminine and also not afraid to make people laugh. Abbi Jacobson Read Quote

Before ‘Broad City,’ I had a lot of jobs that I knew were not for me, but when you’re young and don’t know exactly what you’re going to do, if an opportunity comes up, you feel like, ‘This is an opportunity; I have to try it.’ Abbi Jacobson Read Quote
I really, really like interior design. I grew up in a really old house outside of Philly that was built in 1821. My mom is really into antiques, and my dad is very mid-century. They’re not together anymore, so in the middle of growing up, I, all of the sudden, had two houses that were very different but really well done in each of their own ways. Abbi Jacobson Read Quote

I love Maira Kalman. She’s an amazing illustrator and writer. I’ve loved her since I was in college, but when I moved to New York and experienced the same city she was drawing and writing about, I developed a whole new appreciation. Her work made me observe everything so much deeper and more joyfully. Abbi Jacobson Read Quote
I really admire people that do more than one thing. That’s sort of the goal, right – to be an artist that can work in any medium. That’s what I hope for my career. Abbi Jacobson Read Quote
Everything on ‘Broad City’ that my character has drawn is my stuff from years and years ago. Abbi Jacobson Read Quote
It’s very natural and simple to me, drawing, because I’ve drawn since I was a kid. It’s just the most normal thing for me to do. And it’s very meditative. Abbi Jacobson Read Quote
